Product Grades
V2O5 98% Flake
Primarily used for metallurgical applications, especially ferrovanadium production. Also serves as a vanadium-bearing intermediate for industrial chemical processing where purity requirements are compatible.
V2O5 99.5% High-Purity Flake
Designed for applications requiring greater vanadium concentration and lower impurity levels. Typical applications include master alloy production and specialized chemical processes.
Physical Characteristics
Metallurgical V2O5 flakes are supplied as fused flakes with the following specifications:
- Maximum thickness: Approximately 5 mm
- Maximum dimensions: 50×50 mm to 55×55 mm
- Form: Industrial flake
For catalyst applications, specific powder size, surface area, or chemical purity requirements should be specified.
Industrial Applications
- Catalyst Production: Used in catalyst systems and chemical processing applications
- Chemical Industry: Serves as intermediate for vanadium-containing chemicals
- Metallurgical Use: Primary material for ferrovanadium and vanadium master alloy production
Technical Considerations
For chemical and catalyst applications, evaluate these critical parameters:
- V2O5 concentration
- Iron (Fe) content
- Silicon (Si) content
- Phosphorus (P) content
- Sulfur (S) content
- Arsenic (As) levels
- Alkali metals
- Moisture content
- Physical form and particle size
Quality Assurance
Standard documentation includes:
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- Packing List
- Batch information
- Inspection reports (when required)
For chemical and catalyst applications, request complete elemental analysis beyond basic V2O5 purity statements.
Packaging Options
Industrial V2O5 is available in various packaging configurations including steel drums (200–250 kg) and bulk bags (1 MT capacity).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is V2O5 used for?
V2O5 is used in ferrovanadium and vanadium alloy production, chemical processing, and catalyst-related applications.
What is the difference between 98% and 99.5% V2O5?
The 99.5% grade represents a higher-purity product with greater V2O5 concentration and typically lower impurity levels. Exact specifications should be confirmed for each application.
Can V2O5 flakes be used for catalyst production?
V2O5 is used in catalyst applications, but catalyst producers often require specific powder forms or particle-size distributions rather than metallurgical flakes.
What impurities are important for chemical applications?
Fe, Si, P, S, As, and alkali metals can be critical depending on the specific chemical process requirements.
